Learning Resource Centres

The aim of all our learning resource centres (LRCs) is to help maximise your potential and enhance your learning experience within a safe, welcoming and vibrant environment conducive to study.

We are at the heart of any teaching and research programme and provide access to a range of high quality printed, electronic and IT resources in a variety of formats. Our aim is to support learning through the diversity of our centres, promoting equality for all our learners.
